The girl’s family h… > **[Mom of missing Long Island woman: ‘I believe she’s going to come home’](https://nypost.com/2021/09/13/mom-of-missing-long-island-woman-i-believe-shes-going-to-come-home/)** > > The distraught mother of a Gabby Petito, who mysteriously disappeared during a cross-country trip with her boyfriend, said she’s convinced her daughter will come back home. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bizarre-unsolved-or-otherwise-infamous-true-crime-cases-from-your-state-country/847890)._
